About this vendor
Ashley Painter Photography is a **Charleston, South Carolina wedding and portrait photographer** serving couples and families throughout the Lowcountry and beyond.
With four years of professional experience, many weddings photographed, and countless portrait sessions, I’ve learned that beautiful photography is about more than creating beautiful images. It’s about knowing when to step in with direction, when to let a moment unfold naturally, and how to make the people in front of my camera feel comfortable and confident.
From our first conversation through the final delivery of your gallery, I’m there to help make the experience as easy and enjoyable as possible. On a wedding day, that means helping you prepare ahead of time, navigating changing timelines and lighting conditions, capturing the moments you planned for—and paying attention to the ones you didn't.
My education includes formal photography training through the **New York Institute of Photography**, along with continued education in posing, lighting, technique, and evolving industry technology. I continue to invest in my education so that the experience and work I provide my clients continue to grow alongside my business.
I am also a member of **Professional Photographers of America**. My child portrait work has been published in two magazines, and I have been featured by **South Carolina Voyager Magazine** as a local small business owner.
Whether you're planning a wedding in Charleston, celebrating a milestone, or simply want to preserve this season of your family's life, I'd love the opportunity to tell your story.
**Ashley Painter Photography LLC** is a registered and insured South Carolina business and is licensed where required.

So incredible! Ashley is professional, passionate, accommodating and great under the pressure of wedding stress. She brought her husband along as her assistant which was so sweet a...
nd we were happy to have both of them on our special day. Leading up to the wedding we had a very helpful phone call to go over my photo shots list. I feel like every shot I could have wanted was taken on our wedding day and the sneak peeks were 10/10. What really stood out was the fact that she invests in her photography with continued education via photo classes and flat lay props etc. that help make fabulous wedding photos. My sister loved her so much she's hiring her for her own grad pictures! Would hire again.
Ashley is professional and so fun to work with. We felt like she was just another friend there with us, would recommend Ashley all day everyday!
Ashley was an absolute rockstar during one of the biggest moments of my life. She captured every detail of my proposal to my fiancée with such skill and precision that I couldn’t b...
elieve how perfect the photos turned out. The emotions, the surprise, and even the tiny details I didn’t notice in the moment—she got it all.
What really stood out to me was how easy she made everything. Proposing is stressful enough, but Ashley kept everything calm and fun while somehow managing to be in all the right places without us even noticing. Afterward, she stuck around for a family photo session, and she turned what could have been pure chaos into something smooth, natural, and even enjoyable (which says a lot coming from me!).
Her photos captured exactly how the day felt, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Ashley, you nailed it—thank you for making this moment last forever! If you’re thinking of hiring her, just do it. You won’t regret it.
Ashley made one of the most important days of my life even more magical. She was there to capture the moment my fiancé proposed, and the photos she took are nothing short of breath...
taking. Every image radiates the joy, love, and surprise I felt in that moment—it’s like I’m reliving it every time I look at them.
What really stood out to me was how comfortable Ashley made me feel. I was so caught up in the excitement, but she guided us through the most beautiful photos without ever interrupting the moment. Afterward, she took the time to photograph our families together, and those pictures are just as special.
Ashley has such a gift for capturing emotions and making the experience effortless and fun. These photos will always be some of my most treasured memories, and I’m so grateful to her for telling our story so perfectly! If you’re lucky enough to work with Ashley, you’re in the best hands. ❤️

hat Ashley put into our big day and our photos. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to join us on our day. She truly has a special talent. I highly recommend her if you or anyone you know is looking for an event photographer. You won’t be disappointed!!
Ashley was awesome to work with! We had engagement pictures done. My fiancé and I are not the most comfortable in front of a camera and she was great at helping us feel relaxed and...
ourselves. She came up with fun but natural poses that turned out great. She sent us our pictures after just a couple weeks and even gave us a sneak peak of them that night! We loved her edits and would definitely recommend her to anyone.
While we were not lucky enough to book Ashley for our wedding, it was still a pleasure discussing our options with her as we looked for our photographer. She is responsive, flexibl...
